Waterford 1 United XI 2

A Manchester United XI posted a 2-1 victory at Waterford United courtesy of goals from James Wilson and Jack Barmby.

The forwards struck either side of half time to ensure Conor Whittle's rocket strike was no more than a consolation for the hosts as Nicky Butt took charge of the young side.

Wilson opened his account for the campaign with a sweet finish after his initial attempt by keeper Chip Sanders while Barmby's effort followed a neat dribble past a couple of defenders. Whittle blasted a 30-yarder past Jonny Sutherland but the visitors were good value for the win.

In front of 2,830 fans, the Reds started the game brighter with Andreas Pereira looking most likely to cause problems. Tom Lawrence could have opened the scoring minutes after kick-off when cutting in from the left but Waterford defender David Breen made an important block.

Pereira continued to trouble Waterford and he forced keeper Sanders into a great save after 13 minutes, dancing his way past the challenges of three Waterford players before unleashing a strike towards goal. Sanders was alert though, and pushed the ball to his left away from the goal.

Ben Ryan almost gave the home side the lead five minutes later. Donald Love fouled Conor Coad on the edge of the penalty area but Ryan’s free kick grazed the top of the bar on its way over. United went down the other end almost instantaneously and struck the bar themselves. Wilson let fly from 25 yards but saw his effort strike the bar, before seeing his follow-up saved by keeper Sanders.

United deservedly notched the opening goal when Wilson finally got the better of Sanders after seeing his initial effort saved, he made no mistake with his second attempt; curling the ball into the top left corner away from the dive of Sanders.

Coad almost levelled for Waterford on the stroke of half time, but Pierluigi Gollini got a touch to force it over the crossbar, only for the Reds to double the lead just six minutes into the second half through Barmby. The son of ex-England star Nick dribbled around two challenges in the Waterford penalty area, held off defender David Breen and superbly fired across goal past Craig Hyland into the back of the net.

Both teams mad changes throughout the second period which affected the tempo before Waterford got back into the game. Substitute right-back Whittle advanced unchallenged down the right before unleashing an unstoppable strike past Sutherland.

Joe Rothwell almost made it 3-1 within minutes when he latched onto a loose ball on the edge of the box, but Blues keeper Hyland touched over his brilliantly curled effort. With ten minutes to go, the home side should have levelled. Philip Drohan drove down the left and forced Sutherland into a good save. The ball broke to Peter Higgins, 12 yards from goal, but he scuffed his shot across the penalty area with the goal at his mercy.

Love went close to adding another with five minutes to go but Whittle got the vital clearance on the line, before Sam Byrne almost got on the scoresheet minutes later but his header went over the crossbar.

United: Gollini (Sutherland 46); Weir, Rowley, McNair, Love; Barmby, Rudge, Pereira, Rothwell, Lawrence (Byrne 60); Wilson (Adarabioyo 60).

Chorley 0 United XI 1

20/07/2013 17:37, Report by Ian Davidson, A Bostock
A youthful Manchester United XI recorded a 1-0 friendly victory at Chorley thanks to Louis Rowley's first-half strike and an early penalty save by Pierluigi Gollini.

Nicky Butt took charge of the team with Warren Joyce watching from the stands as the Reds faced a serious examination in the opening stages. Gollini was under immediate pressure with James Weir needing to clear from close to the goalline.

When Rowley tripped Tom Ince from behind, the perfect opportunity to cap the fine start with a goal arrived in the form of a fourth-minute penalty. Ince stepped up himself but failed to beat Gollini from the spot, shooting too close to the Italian.

United responded well with Andreas Pereira forcing a reflex stop out of Sam Ashton and the keeper saving at the feet of James Wilson after parrying an effort by captain Tom Lawrence. Back came Chorley with Rowley deflecting over an Ince drive but the left-back provided an even more telling contribution soon afterwards.

Lawrence latched onto a Jack Barmby pass and fired goalwards with Rowley on hand to stab in the rebound after former Bolton keeper Ashton could only push it into a dangerous area. Darren Stephenson dribbled past Paddy McNair, who seems to have sprouted up over the summer, only for Gollini to rush out and make a brave stop before Ince had a header ruled out for what looked an obvious offside infringement.

Pereira showed flashes of his quality but his finish did not match a mazy dribble while Lawrence and Barmby saw efforts fielded by Ashton. However, the hosts finished the half the stronger with Gollini touching over a Dale Whitham piledriver and blocking at his near post after Stephenson rampaged through.

There was less goalmouth action after the interval with Wilson ploughing a lone furrow in attack and trying to exploit his pace, only to see a couple of attempts blocked. Joe Rothwell exerted a growing influence in midfield as the Reds were only sporadically troubled with Witham spurning the clearest opening for some time when firing across goal.

Trialist Fisayo Adarabioyo took over Wilson's striking duties with Sam Byrne operating down the left after Butt made a couple of changes and he tried a curling shot that was comfortably saved by Ashton. With a raft of substitutions disrupting the flow of play, United were able to take the sting out of the opposition with a degree of comfort.

Adarabioyo and Jamie Cairns traded weak efforts as the EvoStik League side were unable to get back on level terms with Butt's youngsters running out convincing victors on a pleasant evening in Lancashire.

United: Gollini; Weir (Love 72), McNair, Grimshaw, Rowley; Barmby, Rudge (Adarabioyo 66), Rothwell, Pereira; Lawrence, Wilson (Byrne 66). Sub not used: Sutherland.

Stevenage 2 United XI 2

http://www.manutd.com/sitecore/shell...=0,184,720,720

26/07/2013 21:26, Report by Cliff Butler

A youthful Manchester United XI can be proud of a tremendous performance in holding Stevenage to a 2-2 draw in a first-ever visit to the Lamex Stadium.

Sam Byrne and Joe Rothwell scored in the first half to hand the Reds a healthy 2-0 lead at the interval but Darius Charles' double earned his side a deserved share of the spoils with Sam Johnstone needing to prove his class by making a string of top-class saves.

The hosts, who kick off the new season next week, began in lively fashion against Nicky Butt's young selection by dominating the opening stages. Keeper Johnstone was the busiest player on the field while Luke Jones should have converted a Greg Tansey corner.

Skipper Liam Grimshaw cleared an Oumare Tounkara effort off the line as the Reds' defence coped admirably with a stream of attacks from the League One outfit. Gradually, openings appeared at the other end with a good run by James Weir prompting a shot wide by James Wilson.

However, it took a fabulous save from Johnstone to keep the scoresheet blank as Luke Freeman unleashed a fierce drive on 29 minutes. Soon afterwards, United took the lead against the run of play when the home side failed to adequately clear a Jack Barmby free-kick. The ball ran to Byrne, who netted with a well-placed shot past Chris Day.

Butt's side extended the lead when Donald Love's cross from the right was hit first time by Rothwell to leave experienced keeper Day with no chance. As the half-time scoreline of 2-0 may have been a little flattering, a response was anticipated after the break and so it proved.

The 1,691 crowd witnessed a determined comeback and Stevenage quickly worked at addressing the arrears. Touncara had already gone close with a deflected attempt when Charles smashed an angled drive beyond Johnstone on 55 minutes.

The United keeper got the better of Tounkara to make a splendid one-handed stop but was powerless to prevent a blistering left-footed drive from Charles levelling the scores. Suddenly, the Reds were clinging to parity as Sam Wedgbury fired over following a James Dunne run and Johnstone pulled off a reflex save to thwart Tansey with Charles spurning the rebound.

Barmby hit the side-netting as Butt's youngsters looked for a winner themselves but Freeman passed up the best opportunity to clinch victory with only three minutes remaining when firing off target.

United: Johnstone; Love, McNair, Grimshaw, Rowley; Weir, Rudge (Harrop 67), Rothwell, Barmby; Byrne (A.Fletcher 82), Wilson (Adarabioyo 65). Subs not used: Gollini, C.Evans.

Milk Cup squad announced

Manchester United have announced the squad for the upcoming Milk Cup tournament in Northern Ireland.

18 teenagers form the travelling party with Belgian playmaker Andreas Pereira the most experienced player on view after featuring regularly for Paul McGuinness' Under-18s last term.

As McGuinness told ManUtd.com recently, it is a very youthful-looking squad with Demetri Mitchell the only other outfield member to have played at Under-18 level, and that was in a brief substitute appearance.

Oliver McBurnie, a 17-year-old Bradford City scholar, has been drafted in with the Bantams' blessing to cover injuries in attack. The striker will spend the duration of the competition with the Reds on work experience after Bradford nominated him for the opportunity.

United squad (number order): Joel Castro Pereira, Tyler Reid, Jordan Thompson, Axel Tuanzebe, Cameron Borthwick-Jackson, Scott McTominay, Joe Riley, Matthew Willock, Ruairi Croskery, Oliver McBurnie, Demetri Mitchell, Callum Nicholas, Kieran O'Hara, Andreas Pereira, Marcus Rashford, Charlie Scott, Vashiko Dick, Oliver Rathbone.

United 4 Altenberge 1
http://www.manutd.com/sitecore/shell...=53,18,930,673

31/07/2013 20:49, Report by Mike Shaw

Manchester United's youngsters secured a semi-final berth at the Milk Cup with a 4-1 win over TuS Altenberge in rain-soaked Limavady.

The Germans sat rock bottom of the group before kick-off but resisted United for half an hour until Ruairi Croskey's cool finish put the Reds ahead. Oliver McBurney doubled the lead, stroking home left-footed after cutting inside his marker.

The Reds then conceded their first goal of the tournament in bizarre fashion, a long ball forward looked to be running through to Kieran O'Hara, only for the goalkeeper to unluckily lose his footing on the sodden turf and allow Steffan Hunker a tap-in.

United responded almost immediately, Andreas Pereira firing home from 20 yards to quash any hopes of a comeback. The Belgian struck again to give the hardy fans something to cheer, this time finding the net from nearly 30 yards out as he continues to stamp his class on the competition.

Paul McGuinness' side will face Dublin side Cherry Orchard in the last four of the competition on Thursday.

United: O'Hara; Reid, Tuanzebe, Borthwick-Jackson, Thompson; Riley, Willock, A.Pereira, Mitchell; Croskery, McBurnie. Substitutions to follow..

United 3 Cherry Orchard 1

http://www.manutd.com/sitecore/shell...n=0,46,592,486

01/08/2013 21:44, Report by Mike Shaw

Manchester United cruised into the Milk Cup final in style, turning in their best performance of the competition so far en route to seeing off Dublin-based side Cherry Orchard.

After 10 cagey opening minutes, Oliver McBurnie finished well following a neat move. Within minutes, it was two, Demetri Mitchell and McBurnie forcing a stunning double save from the Cherry Orchard goalkeeper but Joe Riley was on hand to ram home the rebound from six yards. McBurney grabbed his second from close range after the visiting defence failed to deal with a low Andreas Pereira cross.

With victory almost assured by that first-half burst, Paul McGuinness granted opportunities to members of the squad and, despite Connor Foley's well-taken goal six minutes from the time, the Dubliners were unable to recover.

United have now reached the final of the competition for a record 11th time and will meet Co Tyrone on Friday with the trophy up for grabs.

United: J.Pereira; Reid (Dick 62), Tuanzebe, Borthwick-Jackson, Thompson; Riley (Scott 62), Willock (Rashford 45), A.Pereira, Mitchell; Croskery (McTominay 45), McBurnie (Nicholas 55).
